How do you manage inventory and demand in your creative business? Do you use and market a scarcity model? An urgency model? Or an always available model? This week Melissa and Heather walk you through each of these and outline the pros and cons of each as well as showing you how you can use a mix of all three in your creative business!

- have consistent best sellers
- want to have multiple options when it comes to where they sell their products
- are considering adding wholesale or in person markets to their revenue streams
